AI email triage for hair salons.
Built for the hair salon who's already tried the off-the-shelf option and bounced off it.
Bookings, reminders and rebooking prompts handled automatically, so the chair stays full and the phone stays quiet.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
What AI email triage actually does
Inbox gets the AI treatment - drafts replies, files quotes, escalates the urgent, and snoozes the noise. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Where hair salons actually lose hours and dollars.
Salons run on a fully booked chair, and every gap in the calendar is revenue that doesn't come back.
Rebooking, no-show follow-ups, and client reminders are what keep a salon's calendar full without constant manual chasing.
Built differently, on purpose.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
How it works in New Zealand
We find the one workflow costing hair salons the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.

Straight answers
How fast could we have AI email triage in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most hair salons. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for hair salons that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
What's the realistic outcome for hair salons?
Inbox time cut from 2 hours/day to under 30 minutes. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
